i would love to say that
00:06
everyone out there should accept our
00:08
clients of course should change council
00:10
on appeal because i love appeals
00:13
ever since my clerkship at the federal
00:15
circuit i love the federal circuit i
00:17
love appeals in general i love the whole
00:20
process
00:21
but the truth is that sometimes it
00:23
really does make sense to get a new
00:25
perspective from someone who is more
00:27
objective
00:29
taking a fresh look at your case
00:31
and i enjoy doing that
00:33
a skilled appellate advocate brings some
00:36
difference
00:39
skills to the table than a trial
00:41
litigator that includes selection of
00:44
issues which is critical for an appeal
00:46
briefing them persuasively
00:49
and also presenting them well at oral
00:51
argument the briefing is so important i
00:54
mean that is your introduction the way
00:56
you introduce your case to your judges
00:59
who have no background in your case
01:01
until they pick up the briefs being able
01:03
to ride an effective appeal brief is a
01:05
skill into itself
01:07
you know that said there are obviously
01:09
downsides to switching council
01:11
it’s less efficient and more expensive
01:13
to bring someone brand new up to speed
01:15
in your case but sometimes that is an
01:18
investment that is well worth it
